Technology
Technology clearly plays a significant role in our lives and the lives of our students. Educationally, technology and digital tools can be advantageous for accessing, processing, and producing content as well as enhancing instruction in the classroom. Technology also allows students to collaborate in ways that were not previously possible, and the integration of digital tools helps to ensure that students develop skills necessary to be successful in today’s world. Those skills are not only transferable between content areas, but also applicable to future academic and job-related tasks.
Technology today affects the way we communicate, the way we socialize, and the way we "do" business. Thus, students need equitable access to technology so they can develop the technology literacy skills needed to succeed now and in the future.
As a result, our school district is focused on creating and maintaining a sustainable technology infrastructure that supports emerging technologies. By accessing these technologies, students will acquire and apply knowledge critical to their futures. Also, through staff development opportunities and support, teachers will become proficient in using new technologies to enhance the teaching-learning process.
DISTRICT TECHNOLOGY GOALS
A Technology Leadership Committee meets regularly to review and revise the plan. Helping set a technology vision for the district, the committee also works closely with the District Media Team to ensure the technology plan is supporting curriculum needs.
The Technology Plan goals are to:
- Improve and enhance network infrastructure to support emerging technologies
- Provide online learning management tools and electronic curriculum resources
- Improve access to technology tools that engage students and allow flexibility within the learning environment
- Improve communication with families and the community
